About this ebook

The warriors riding have battled in astounding supernatural realms. Set captives free. And awakened thousands of hearts. But now their only chance of survival depends on calling forth the spirit bridge.

Reece, Dana, Brandon, and Marcus have achieved staggering success in spiritual realms . . . but each is reeling from recent vicious attacks. They need rest. A break from the war.

But the warlord Zennon is raging and will give them no quarter. The demon holds what he believes is a trump card—a hidden strategy set in motion before the Warriors Riding even began—that will detonate the team from the inside out. And he’s just set it loose.

The street-magician Simon—finally free of Zennon’s alternate-reality prison—is racing to remember his past before his ignorance obliterates his destiny. Then there’s Miyo, a brash young warrior with advanced knowledge of spiritual realities and supernatural armor even Reece doesn’t know about. They will be pivotal in the final war against the Warriors Riding.

If only the Warriors knew which side Simon and Miyo are truly on.

Spirit Bridge is the epic conclusion to acclaimed author James L. Rubart’s Well Spring series, which will propel each of the Warriors Riding on a quest of true identity, ultimate freedom, and a final battle that will leave them changed forever.

“. . . [an] amazing tale of angels, demons, and what it truly means to be connected to God’s plans for the future.” —RT Book Reviews for Memory’s Door

    Spirit Bridge—the third and final book in the three-book Well Spring series by James Rubart—is a cat-and-mouse game of evil versus good. In it we follow members of the Warriors Riding Ministry—Reece, Doug, Brandon, Marcus, and Dana that readers have met in books one and two. We’re also introduced (or re-introduced) to a couple of less familiar characters, namely Miyo and Simon the Magician.

    We’re just aware enough of what’s going on in the spiritual realms, ‘peopled’ by the likes of the demon Master and his minions Caustin and Zennon, and angels Tristan, Orson, and Jotham, to keep us on the edge of our seats. The caginess of the enemy and the fact that we’re not exactly sure on which side some of the characters are makes for some nervous scenes with surprising outcomes. Of course the fact our heroic warriors haven’t been able to successfully ward off calamity in the past adds to the tension as we question, Rubart wouldn’t actually let his heroes come to serious harm, would he?—uh, yes, he would. Add to all that several hand-to-hand battles and you have an often heart-pounding read.

    The elements of Rubart’s fantasy setting are a combination of imagination, psychic phenomenon (like soul travel), and a sometimes literal interpretation of certain Bible passages. For example when the angels are fighting and “Each of them held the arrows up close to their mouth and spoke as if giving the arrows instruction...” Miyo recognizes the scriptural origin: “’This is Habakkuk chapter three come to life “...Your bow was made ready; oaths were sworn over your arrows”’” Kindle Location 6704.

    This book was my introduction to the series. I’d recommend reading the other books first. Though I did eventually get into the swing of the story, the characters make lots of references to previous adventures to which I wasn’t privy so I felt a little out of it.

    Though I enjoyed the suspense of the plot, the imaginative setting, and how Rubart envisioned the interplay of the natural world with the spiritual, my favorite parts of the story were where characters got insights into the spiritual implications of what was happening in them.

    For example, when Brandon discovers he can sing again, but only some of the time, he tries to understand why. He says, “... I have a feeling when I sing his songs, I get the voice you heard. When I sing my own, I get the raspy voice you’re hearing right now” – K.L. 1672.

    And when Dana is learning from Miyo about vulnerability to the enemy, Miyo tells her: “I know the only way warfare can get in is through an opening. A crack in our souls. Those cracks come from sin. Things we are holding onto. I don’t know what it is in you. Hardness of heart? Having to prove yourself? Needing to perform? .... You offered him a seam, and he was able to worm his way through and plant thoughts and images and promises and suggestions and warfare inside you” – K.L. 5316.

    Spirit Bridge might be a fantasy. But in it I found a lot of truth.

    I received Spirit Bridge as a gift from the publisher, Thomas Nelson, for the purpose of writing a review.

    5/5
    I have read EVERY book this author has published! I have NEVER been disappointed and this one is no different. This is the third and final in the Well Springs series and I say that with a little sadness as I have become quite fond of the characters, actions, and story line over the last few books. In fact I anxiously awaited the release of this one to find out what happened next after a climatic ending to the one before it.

    In this book the spiritual realm is explored even more and the Holy Spirit and his power on this earth is greatly explored. I rarely pick up fictional books on spiritual war fare simply because I have not enjoyed them or found them doctrinally in error. However, I have not found that to be the case in this series of books.

    If you are looking for a book that will keep you hooked until the very end this is one. Suspense, and sadness, wars beyond our earthly senses and the truth of spiritual warfare going on around us are woven through out this book.

    Rubart is an author that writes with tremendous ease and fluidity that makes his stories easy to believe and become hooked into. This is an excellent wrap up to a thrill of a ride. A must read!

    Thanks to Thomas Nelson for this review copy.
